In this article by Mrs. Deluca she mentioned that combat soldiers are trained to “toughing it out”, whatever the problem is. They are trained not to show any signs of “weakness” because in some cases it is frowned upon.

I have spent countless hours studying and researching the responsibilities, benefits, and consequences of this lifestyle. I can honestly tell you, this is not only the career I have dreamed about since my adolescence, but also a lifestyle that I have been captivated by as an adult. No amount of research can fully prepare me for the physical and mental training that I will undergo as an ROTC cadet but I am willing to accept the challenge and embrace this future. I believe that the ROTC program will give me opportunities that I wouldn’t normally be able to experience, this will help me develop my leadership skills. Having these capabilities will be an important virtue in fulfilling my duties as an Army officer.
